[QUOTE="Blindsided, post: 752628, member: 23811"] Welcome Yvette. My story is parallel with yours except that my 41 year old alcoholic abusive daughter (once a very caring person and close to me) is still manipulating to find a place to stay with her dogs. She has yet to hit rock bottom. She thinks nothing of all the money we have given to help her "get on her feet". When the money stopped, it unleashed a person I do not know. I pray for a glimce of the daughter I raised and thanked God for and once in a while I get it. I understand. I send my daughter love everyday and let go. She lives 1200 miles away right now, where we have no family. But if she was closer, I think that would be hard too. My heart goes out to you. You are being supportive in the only way he will let you. That said, if it is interfering with your daily emotional health, maybe it's time to tighten the boundaries that protect you. Tears are falling for you, because I feel your pain. It is painful for all of us here. I try to acknowledge the pain for what it is without judging it. The letters I use when I start to give in are S&S, Stop-Sooth. Stop hand out in gesture, Sooth as I take a deep breath, feel my shoulders relax and lean into letting go. Sometimes, I do it demonstratively, others using creative visualization. I havent read others comments yet, but I always find something I can use for myself. Love and light to you. [/QUOTE]
